The way we do that now is overkill.  We only needed to use the MMU
cache ops when we had sun4c around because sun4c lacked support for
the "flush" instruction.

But all sun4m and later chips have it so we can use it
unconditionally.

So in the per_cpu_patch() code, get rid of the cache ops invocation,
and instead execute a "flush %reg" after each of the instruction patch
assignments, where %reg is set to the address of the instruction that
was stored into.

Perhaps take the flushi() definition from asm/cacheflush_64.h and
place it into asm/cacheflush.h, then you can simply use that.

Implemented as per suggestion.
Moved run-time patching before we call paging_init(),
so helper methods in paging_init() may utilise run-time patching too.

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

The majority of this patch was created by the following script:

***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***

The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.

With this commit all sparc64 header files are moved to asm-sparc.
The remaining files (71 files) were too different to be trivially
merged so divide them up in a _32.h and a _64.h file which
are both included from the file with no bit size.

The following script were used:
cd include
FILES=`wc -l asm-sparc64/*h | grep -v '^     1' | cut -b 20-`

for FILE in ${FILES}; do
  echo $FILE:
  BASE=`echo $FILE | cut -d '.' -f 1`
  FN32=${BASE}_32.h
  FN64=${BASE}_64.h
  GUARD=___ASM_SPARC_`echo $BASE | tr '-' '_' | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]`_H
  git mv asm-sparc/$FILE asm-sparc/$FN32
  git mv asm-sparc64/$FILE asm-sparc/$FN64
  echo git mv done
  printf "#ifndef %s\n" $GUARD                             >   asm-sparc/$FILE
  printf "#define %s\n" $GUARD                             >>  asm-sparc/$FILE
  printf "#if defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__)\n" >>  asm-sparc/$FILE
  printf "#include <asm-sparc/%s>\n" $FN64                 >>  asm-sparc/$FILE
  printf "#else\n"                                         >>  asm-sparc/$FILE

The guard contains three '_' to avoid conflict with existing guards.
In additing the two Kbuild files are emptied to avoid breaking

We will reintroduce the exported header files when the necessary
kbuild changes are merged.

Virtually index, physically tagged cache architectures can get away
without cache flushing when forking.  This patch adds a new cache
flushing function flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *) which for the
moment I've implemented to do the same thing on all architectures
except on MIPS where it's a no-op.

The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting
with an instruction sequence like this:

	ba,pt		%xcc, kvmap_load
	 xor		%g2, %g4, %g5

succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table
walk starting at swapper_pg_dir.

We first take over the trap table from the firmware.  Then, using this
constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build
the kernel page tables for the linear mapping.

After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which
will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk.

With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial.

This showed that arch/sparc64/kernel/ptrace.c was not getting
the define properly, and thus the code protected by this ifdef
was never actually compiled before.  So fix that too.

We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.

All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages().  That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.

Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:

1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
   color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.

Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
